In-orbit demonstration of an iodine electric propulsion system

Propulsion is a critical subsystem of many spacecraft(1–4). For efficient propellant usage, electric propulsion systems based on the electrostatic acceleration of ions formed during electron impact ionization of a gas are particularly attractive(5,6). At present, xenon is used almost exclusively as...
